General presentation
Ogliastra et golfe d'Orosei
Wild Sardinia of cliffs, coves accessible by boat or hike, mountain villages and spectacular roads.
To understand what Ogliastra and the Gulf of Orosei are, you must look at Cala Goloritze, Cala Luna and Gorropu. These places give you the opportunity to see a territory marked by the coastline, the mountain reliefs and the natural spaces and allow you to pass from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.

For a stay of 4 to 8 days, it is necessary to plan a fairly sustained day. Also to be anticipated: demanding accesses and weather-dependent boats. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Coast
Cala Goloritze
Cala Goloritze The place is very much appreciated by moving forward without haste, between shadow and radiance. Each step transforms the apparent depth, and topography becomes the real subject of the course.
Coast
Cala Luna
Cala Luna marks a softer tempo of the coast of Orosei: razing light, areas of escape, natural observation points. By traversing the accesses at different times of the day, the same calanque takes on contrasting faces. The place is expressed mainly by its variations of scale.
Place
Baunei
Baunei plays on the transition between coastal living space and hilly hinterland. The routes highlight the changes of atmosphere depending on the slope, vegetation and light on the coast. The look sizing when alternating passage areas and more removed trails.
Place
Arbatax
Arbatax marks the coastline of Ogliastra by its red rocks, its harbour and its coves caught between clear sea and steep reliefs. The village has a simple look, turned towards boats and departures at sea; the contrasts of color around the Rocce Rosse remain its strongest image.
